Ms. Ross
remarked that some of the second quarter claims have not been received yet
which makes the revenues look like they are coming up short when they really
are not. Committee members briefly
discussed the Tourism Budget. It was
noted that the I Love NY Matching Funds Program did not grant program funds as
originally anticipated, and our revenues will fall short by approximately
$50,993. We will not spend those funds
on the appropriation side, and with the Chamber taking over much of the Tourism
Program we should have approximately $65,000 remaining in the Tourism
appropriation accounts at year end.
A
few departmental reports are missing, and they will be submitted for review
next month.
There
being no further business to come before the committee, the meeting was
adjourned on a motion by Legislator Fanton, seconded by Legislator Dibble and
carried.
Respectfully submitted,
Brenda Rigby Riehle, Clerk of the
Board
